Chapter 836

"You're a liar! You've been deceiving everyone from the start!" Kathleen snapped.

Madge met her glare. "It's true-I lost my memory. But lately, things have started coming back."

Not everything was clear yet, but Madge decided to prod Kathleen, see what she could get out of her.

She hadn't expected such a satisfying result.

"You... what are you trying to do?" Kathleen's voice wavered.

"So, everything I just said—you admit to it?" Madge pressed.

Kathleen averted her gaze. "I don't know what you're talking about..."

Madge didn't get angry. She just smiled and said lightly, "You claimed I was spoiled from the start, while you were the ugly duckling. Our parents loved me more, and Teague liked me too. Do you know why?"

The mention of Teague drew a flicker of humiliation and resentment across Kathleen's face.

"First of all, when it comes to Mom and Dad, I'm their biological daughter. You were adopted. But even with that, they never treated you poorly. You lived in comfort-whatever I had, they made sure you did too. In fact, you had more than most kids ever dream of."
